Legion-5 didn't let up after he assimilated Legion-7 and the dragon heart. He can use the dragon heart now but that is not enough for him. Legion-7 and the dragon heart have to fuse. It is only then can he successfully create a synergistic effect between the two divine abilities that amplifies the power of both of them.
Legion-7 spoke. "I guess it is my turn now."
"Let's see what I can do first before you get to work."
Legion-5 tried the effect of the heart first. His hand became scaled and clawed. Blue lightning flickered playfully in the palm of his hand. This is something that only Supreme beasts can do. Other races that fuse with a dragon heart can not bring it back to life and use the element that the original dragon could use while it was alive.
"It is not bad. But it is not enough. You can get to work now."
Legion-5 reverted the changes so that Legion-7 could get to work. He has become a true dragon complete with the inner world of a dragon and the paragon ability of dragons. He has also gained Lightning resistance but Legion-7 hasn't. Seeing as the major reason why they chose a post-origin lightning dragon heart was for its resistance, then their arrangement is still lacking.
This is where Legion-7 comes in. Legion-7 likes to devour laws and concepts not because he is a glutton but because he can evolve with them. He will assimilate the laws and evolve as long as he can devour the laws and have access to cosmic energy to assimilate them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey intend to use this ability of his to fuse the two divine abilities together. Normal Supreme beasts can do this too. They just have to make sure the concepts are compatible and then comprehend the laws of the concepts to fuse them. They will then gain a synergistic effect between the concept that amplifies them.
They have comprehended the laws they need thanks to Soverick and while the two slots are not compatible, Legion-7 can overcome any resistance to fusion by assimilating the dragon heart and evolving. Legion-7 will gain the lightning resistance he craves and since Legion-7 is Legion-5's divine ability, that means he has succeeded in fusing the two divine abilities.
Legion-7 warned, "Prepare yourself, this is going to be painful."
Legion-5 sighed. "I thought as much."
Other Supreme Beasts won't experience pain at this stage since the fusion is peaceful for them. But his fusion will be violent. He expected to feel the kind of pain the law matrix felt when Legion-7 started devouring it. It is this kind of pain that made the Will of the void universe decide to kill Legion-7.
Within Legion-5 are 9 empty orbs. 2 of them are no longer empty. There is a small jellyfish with translucent flesh, tentacles, and several spots of light within it in one of the orbs. In the other orb is a blue shell of an inner world.
Translucent tentacles extended out of the first orb to the blue orb. It grabbed the blue orb forcefully and pulled it to itself. Legion-5 didn't try to resist the fusion but he still felt pain due to the pull and more pain when Legion-7 began to force the assimilation.
His body shook in pain and his existence experienced a feeling of imminent crisis. This feeling of crisis is because what was going on within him is far from normal. A strange entity eating your divine ability from inside of you is usually the prelude to death. After all, what's to say the entity will stop at eating your divine ability and leave without doing more damage?
It took all of his restraint not to try and resist. Meanwhile, Legion-7 was enjoying himself.
"I've never had a dragon heart before. They taste delicious."
Legion-5 had black lines on his body and face. They were created when blue lines appeared all over his body and then faded away as the dragon heart was devoured.
He couldn't help but say, "And you wonder why the Will of the void universe, the will of a plane, and some Celestials ganged up on you."
There are some times when Legion has been treated unfairly and when they deserve revenge. Like the time Legion-7 was enslaved. But the time Legion-7 was "bullied" and almost killed until he ran out of the plane for his dear life is not one of those cases of unfair treatment.
The two occupied slots eventually merged and became one. The merging was quick and easy. There was no rejection whatsoever. The total number of slots within Legion-5 became 8 because of it.
The slot glowed briefly as cosmic energy from the mind network entered it. Legion-7 evolved and became stronger which means Legion-6 became stronger too.
The translucent jellyfish appeared with the inner world of the dragon heart.

"Easy for you to say."
Legion-7 ignored him. He felt relaxed and peaceful. "This is so good. I am the spirit of this world now. The void universe won't be able to trouble me here."
Legion-5 let go of his grievances too. His pain is gone and feels stronger. In fact, he feels relaxed and peaceful too.
Legion-7 said to him, "My new powers are great. I can produce dragon force and we have the POWER stat now."
"Dragons are too blessed. We used to look up at them but I have caught up to them now and we will soon surpass them."
Legion-7 agreed. "It is only a matter of time. The strength of our Unity will be unparalleled."
"Are you confident? Won't the two inner worlds clash?"
"Everything looks perfect. We are one so Legion-1's inner world shouldn't resist me."
"Alright. Let us start with the first step of unity."
Legion-1 also agreed. "Let us begin."
Legion-7 extended his tentacles out to the only inhabited of this world apart from him. His tentacles spread throughout Legion-5's existence. There was no resistance during his search and the information from Legion-5 helped him to find the hidden soul sphere.
